Launching the new switch right before Christmas is just going to be a recipe for disaster with scalpers. It has to be next year and with a big production volume ready.

Eurogamer reported yesterday that Nintendo have informed share holders/suppliers not to expect a Switch 2 this fiscal year which means not before the end of March 2025.
I thought it was already stated to be around then anyway?
Nothing has been stated as far as I know.

Yeah I thought it had all but been confirmed we weren't going to see it launch this side of Christmas anyway; its clear its either now in mass production or close though given the amount of leaks we've seen recently.
Personally I'm looking forward to it; most of my casual gaming is now done on my Switch and I'd just love to see one with a bit more oomph at this point.

All they've announced officially is that they'll announce it this financial year.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar pattern play out to that of the Switch, or even more compressed in terms of timeline.
They didn't officially confirm the release date of March 2017 until January 2017 (something like 6 or 7 weeks ahead of release), I would expect a similar 'late' announcement of release date, even if we see the console itself announced a bit sooner.
Given the Switch is still performing pretty well though and has a healthy batch of new software for the end of 2024, it wouldn't surprise me if they keep news of the successor quieter until 2025 anyway - it's a bit different to the situation with the WiiU which was dead on it's backside by 2016.

4k at 60fps for all games is what I want. But 1080p always locked to 60fps (or higher) would be fine as well.

I would expect 4K when plugged in. The expected performance of this system is between a PS4 Pro and an Xbox Series S. DLSS is going to be a strong enabler of high fps at high resolution.
